Responding to the following:

"Now I'll have to plead ignorance. This seems again entirely irrelevant to my
message. Perhaps you would like to explain what that has to do with:
 
       1. The basic capability of IFF and the Mac's typed files are
          equivalent.
 
       2. Since the IFF standard is defined in a system-independent manner
          (and in fact is used in EA programs on the IBM-PC and the Mac as
          well as the Amiga) it's a superior design."

How are Macintosh file formats system-dependant? These standards are also
published. Give me a break. I'd also like to point out that your point
hasn't changed, but your argument has since I corrected you, and then you
flame me about it!
